You're the author of the post? Can't seem to see who author "Sam" is at that blog, but I did notice that not only did the author write the complaint, but also wrote code to address his issues in a later post.
FWIW, I've worked on syntax highlighters myself and IDEs as well which is what prompted my reaction. The particular problem didn't seem to be a big enough problem for me to warrant the post. But hey.. what do I know, I'm not Sam, at least kudos to him that he actually did something about the issue he had besides writing the inflammatory post.
